Uniforms

All employees are provided with a uniform, consisting of a shirt, pants, a nametag, a Calaway Park hat and a hoodie. Optional wardrobe items are also available. Your uniform must be clean and neat at all times. Shirt sleeves cannot be rolled up. You will be required to obtain new uniform clothing if an item becomes ripped, bleached or overly faded from wear. Alterations and additions of your own to your uniform are not permitted.

Grooming Standards

Hair must be a natural color, neat, clean and out of your eyes. Male employees with long hair must wear it tied back or under their hat. Excessive make-up is not to be worn while on duty. The maximum jewelry allowed is as follows: two rings per hand, three earrings per ear, two bracelets per wrist (unless identified as a safety hazard by the department), one watch and one small necklace. One facial piercing is allowed. Tattoos are not permitted to be visible to our guests. There may be additional grooming standards within individual departments.

Work Schedules

Work schedules are posted three weeks in advance. If you require specific days off, you must give your department three weeks written notice and we will be more than happy to accommodate your activities.

Vacation and Time off

Calaway Park is only operating for a limited time each season and we need employees that are available to us when we are open. Therefore, applicants with more than two weeks vacation will not be considered for employment. Weekends are our busiest days, therefore, applicants that are not available on weekends will not be considered.

Payday

Pay periods are from the 1st to the 15th of the month and 16th to the end of the month. Pay days are 5 business days after the end of the pay period – usually the 7th and the 22nd of the month. Paychecks are deposited directly into your bank account.

Preparing for an Interview

Select applicants will be contacted for an interview. Interviews take place at Calaway Park and applicants must have their own transportation to the park for the interview. Professional dress is recommended.

Bring your social insurance number to the interview, as successful candidates will be required to provide a valid social insurance number.

“I chose to apply at Calaway Park because a girl in my neighborhood that worked here said it was a great first job, and that it was! I continue to work at Calaway Park because everyday presents a new challenge that helps you grow as an employee and as a person. The friends you make here last for years and help to make working at Calaway Park an excellent way to spend your summer!”
